Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The museum has put on a special Olympics Exhibition that includes Rafa Nadal's gold medal from Beijing and the one Roger Federer picked up in the doubles. Both are, though, strictly on loan.
Scots are happy to leave the hill in English hands
Henman Hill or Murray Mound? Among those sticking resolutely to the former are the latter (i.e. Andy Murray), and the latter's mum.
Andy and Judy Murray have both referred to the Aorangi Terrace, to use its proper name, by its English title over the last couple of weeks. Murray told Tim Henman two years ago that he would stick with its original tag.
